PRESTOSPORTS PARTNERS WITH ARMSTRONG ATLANTIC STATE UNIVERSITY FOR NEW ATHLETICS WEB SITE
ROCKVILLE, Md. - Armstrong Atlantic State University, an NCAA Division II member of the Peach Belt Conference, has chosen PrestoSports for its new athletics web site solution. The new home of the Pirates will launch later this year and feature a unique site design and complete integration into the Peach Belt Conference site.
"We're excited to work with another fine institution to extend our partnership from the Peach Belt Conference to another member institution," says PrestoSports Vice President Patrick Summers. "Armstrong Atlantic State University has been a winner on and off the field of play. We're pleased they've chosen us to help meet the challenge in building a website that helps showcase the accomplishments of one of the nation's top athletics programs."
A charter member of the Peach Belt Conference, Armstrong Atlantic State University has been one of the premier NCAA Division II programs in the nation, sending 31 teams to the NCAA Championships over the last five seasons. The Pirates have three NCAA Division II National Championships, six NCAA DII runner-up finishes and countless Peach Belt Conference championships. The Pirates field varsity teams in baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, women's soccer, softball and men's and women's tennis.
"The Armstrong Atlantic State athletic department has always had a high degree of visibility on the field," Athletic Director Dr. Eddie Aenchbacher said. "With PrestoSports, we expect the Pirates to have a high degree of visibility off the field as well. Our new website will endeavor to match the level of excellence AASU has displayed athletically and we are confident PrestoSports will meet that goal."
